Re: [gentoo-user] Is this a portage bug?

[Franz Fellner]

I think that's the way "equery w" works:
>> Display the path to the ebuild that would be used by Portage with the

With your current configuration there is no package matching your query.

Alternatives for future use in such cases:
❯ epkginfo -k kyocera-1x2x-mfp-driver
 * net-print/kyocera-1x2x-mfp-driver [gentoo]
1.1203-r1:0: ~amd64 -*

❯ equery y kyocera-1x2x-mfp-driver
